Also free this week, Trading into Shadow , the first novel of the Magic Below Paris, sci-fantasy series. Technically, it’s all science fiction, but hyper-intelligent cats, nanite-abilities that manifest as magic, and the ability to communicate mind to mind, no matter the reason, give it an e lement of fantasy that’s hard to deny. If you enjoy a bit of snark and a lot of action and have always wanted to read a story set in post-apocalyptic Paris, then try this. Trading into Shadow, and the Magic Below Paris series, is set in Michael Anderle’s Age of Magic (Kurtherian Gambit) universe, and was a lot of fun to write.

Set in a world well on the way to recovering from a global disaster of apocalyptic proportions, these stories follow one woman’s journey to harness her own unexpected magical abilities, and save her homeland from the ever-growing threat of raiders. Along the way, she joins forces with a shadow mage and a large, wild cat, and accidentally adopts two children. With magic rising in the catacombs and caverns, and the raiders coming in greater numbers, Marsh’s world is changing—and maybe not for the better. Her challenge is to meet the change and raise the stakes to beat it. Three books into the writing, and I’m almost excited.
